Brackenburg Monologue from Egmont

From Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

male · anguished · 41 sec

I have sought thee through perils and circuitous paths. The principal streets are occupied with troops;--through lanes and by-ways have I stolen to thee! (Clara: Tell me, how is it?) O Clara, let me weep. I loved him not. He was the rich man who lured to better a pasture the poor man's solitary lamb. I have never cursed him, God has created me with a true and tender heart. My life was consumed in anguish, and each day I hoped would end my misery.
